This simplistic generalization demonstrates you know very little about Afghanistan specifically, or the region in general

No, it demonstrates that I recognize that certain tribal impulses override others in that part of the world. The Pushtoons will fight each other, switch sides, betray each other on a regular basis -- but they will unite against the foreigner. If the fight is set up as Pustoons vs Northern Alliance + Americans + Russians, as seems likely, they will stick with the Taliban no matter if they hate them, unless it is clear that the Taliban is likely to lose.

Also, please demonstrate your own great expertise before you go around calling others simpletons.
